Today I made Valentine goodie boxes for my sweet college daughters and their friends. I started out with these...

Yep, those all too familiar mini mailboxes from Target. I had a few red and pink one sin my stash that I thought would work.

I covered them with pretty "Tilda" paper I purchased from Traci at Art Attack and embellished with my flowers, seam binding and pearls for a shabby kind of look. I also thought I would fill them with fun sweet treats and goodies.

These were so much fun to make...and give. I love the floral boxes. The girls can use them for storage in their dorm rooms instead of just getting a throwaway cardboard box that would have to be recycled...and they're so pretty!

Wow, I can't believe it..2015 is here! Time is flying by so fast, I feel a need to get moving with a few personal goals I've harbored over the past few years. I'm excited, and quite frankly a bit anxious as well, but very determined to make the most of this bright shiny new year.

So....backtrack to last night -- New Year's Eve. We had a blast! The 4 of us celebrated at home...in our pajamas! We created our own little celebration complete with banners, party hats, party food and sparkling cider. We watched New Year's Rockin' Eve (not the same without Dick Clark, but still fun - oh, and I love Fergie!) and laughed and danced through it all. We counted down as the ball dropped and set off noise makers at midnight. A part of me was missed not getting dressed up and going out on the town for a "real" holiday celebration, but I got over that really fast! ...I loved our little party!

There are so many things I'd like to accomplish this year, but one of the biggies on my list is to keep up with this poorly neglected blog. Looking forward to sharing with you all...Thank you for visiting and taking this journey with me. Stay tuned!

I love to capture everyday moments in a creative way. I'm into anything old-fashioned and romantic; not sure
why; I guess that's just the way I'm wired. I love the Lord not because I'm good, but because He is....And I try not to take myself too seriously, which is surprisingly easy to do.
When I'm not knee-deep in a project you're likely to find me hanging out at the beach...or in a quiet spot engrossed with a really good book. Thanks for stopping by and
visiting my little corner of the web. Stay in touch and be blessed...
